let’s all just go ahead and agree that leah has CPTSD, as defined by wikipedia (since CPTSD is not officially recognized yet but will be in 2018, it has no “official” page in WebMD or any other medical website.) 

Symptoms and other such things listed below. Bolding and Italics are all mine.

Children and Adolescents

The diagnosis of PTSD was originally developed for adults who had suffered from a single event trauma or a traumatic experience during a war. However, the situation for many children is quite different. Children can suffer chronic trauma such as maltreatment, family violence, and a disruption in attachment to their primary caregiver. In many cases, it is the child’s caregiver who caused the trauma. The diagnosis of PTSD does not take into account how the developmental stages of children may affect their symptoms and how trauma can affect a child’s development. Currently there is no proper diagnosis for this condition, but the term developmental trauma disorder has been suggested.This developmental form of trauma places children at risk for developing psychiatric and medical disorders.

Repeated traumatization during childhood leads to symptoms that differ from those described for PTSD.
